Blind Grilling Experience

We have been feasting on crawfish at the local grill store between fishing trips.  Chris still refuses to suck the heads but enjoys the meat from those tails.  The world of coffee and espresso has me intrigued but not everything is very accessible.  The scale company Acaia has made  their Pearl S with a talking feature and made a conscious effort to make their Brew app accessible with screen readers.  The Lucca A53mini has tactile buttons for easy use but out of most folks price range.  And then there are grinders which seem to be moving to the touch screen interface with few exceptions.  Finally, we have put the sous vide machine to work since the storms have kept us inside.

ThermoWorks has released a new wireless meat probe and Chris talks about the pros and cons of the RFX vs the Meater 2plus.  The ThermoWorks uses radio frequency and wifi to bring a better connection with greater reliability.  However, there are a few tricks in the Meater 2plus bluetooth that keeps it in the running for a great option.  Several subscribers have reached out and one even shared a story about dropping his iPhone into a burning hot grill.  

Cooking a 22lbs brisket in eight hours helped ease the pain of the Chief's loss and poor performance in the Super Bowl.  The Meta Ray Ban glasses still holding up and recording some great point of view videos which we have posted to IG, FB and YT.  Finally, Chris answers a question about cast iron and if enamel coated cast iron is worth getting over quality cast iron.  

Today's episode describes the difference between edge grain and end grain cutting boards.  Chris explains why end grain boards are so desirable and more expensive.  Then he moves on to how to cook ground burger when you can't see when it is done.  Chris provides a few things to pay attention to such as texture and sound while using a wooden spoon to stir the burger. 

Chris is back with a new season of the BGE podcast and updates on the past year away from from social media.  The Meta Ray Ban glasses are a real blessing and looking forward to sharing more videos and pictures on the new BGECreations instagram page.  Chris has also been busy in the wood shop making cutting boards and charcuterie boards.    Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling   Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx

Chris is joined in studio with Tony who was passing through the area and wanted to say hello.  Last season, Tony was a guest talking about his homemade fridge smoker and Big Green Egg outdoor kitchen setup.  This time we talk about our favorite cooks and offer some pros and cons to pellet smokers.  We also discuss some other hobbies we love.

Chris survived his camping trip and tells about his experience with tarantulas  and the All Terrain Cane.  Questions and recommendations for subjects came pouring in and this episode examines how to mitigate the smell of fish.   Any questions?  email us at info@blindgrilling.com

 I'm headed into the backwoods of the Ozark mountains to camp with some friends.  Going to try a new French press coffee maker at the campsite and report back with some other adventures.  We remind folks about the usefulness of a fish basket for grilling and then talk about how to cook eggs without breaking the yoke.  Email us at: info@blindgrilling.com

 It's a new season of BGE and we are so appreciative of all the emails and texts we have received.  We will answer a few of your questions about meat probes, starter sticks, grills and more.  Chris spoke at the MOKA Conference in Springfield, MO which was put on by the MLV foundation.  We have also traveled to Texas and Tennessee for some preaching appointments.  We were able to eat a smoked pecan pie from Pulaski County TN made by Papa B's.  Email us info@blindgrilling.com 

  For our last show of season 3 we are talking about the new Meater 2 Plus wireless meat probe and what I love about it.  We then talk about cooking prime rib and how to please everyone regardless of how they like their meat cooked.  Thanks for a wonderful year and season of Blind Grilling Experience.    Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience   

   We are recovering from our food coma after an amazing week of Thanksgiving treats.  While Turkey was the star for most folks, we had some duck breast that stole the show.   Update on my diet and the great results from eating the right kind of fats and looking forward to talking about prime rib for Xmas.   Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience   

  Hope y'all have taken your turkey out of the freezer to thaw.  Are you smoking a ham. Try equal parts of apple juice, orange juice, pineapple juice and honey as a sprits while on the smoker.  Smokey sweet goodness awaits your tastebuds.  We are also going to try the new Meater 2 Plus waterproof meat probe and let you know if it is worth the upgrade.  Happy Thanksgiving.

Chris walks through his recommendations for preparing your turkey this Thanksgiving.  From thawing it out, how to inject and how to avoid an over salted brined turkey.  Timing and tips for crispy skin.  Did he say mayo?  Yes, and you won't regret using mayo on your turkey prep if you follow some is pre instructions.  Happy Thanksgiving.

Preparing for Thanksgiving is key for success.  Whether you are ordering a fresh turkey or a frozen one, you don't just throw it in the oven or smoker without some prep and serious consideration of flavors.  To brine or not to brine, that is the question.  What about injections?  What are some things we need to have on hand to ensure the best results?    Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience   

  Winter arrived and I am not as keen on smoking in the cold any more.  Technology is great when it works and a nightmare when it doesn't.  Software updates can render devices useless and power outage causes us to cook old school so it is good to keep those skills sharp.  Finally, I've jumped into the hobby of 3D printers and may have found an accessible option.  I will keep you updated on my adventures with the Bambu Lab X1C printer.   Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience   

We finally removed the broken canopy over the grilling facilities to make room for some new construction.  Winter is coming and we are expecting our first hard freeze so had to unhook the water lines and hot water heater from the outside sink.  If we have to work on the deck we might as well through a pork shoulder on the smoker for some pulled pork.  Hard to get away from the spicy apple seasoning and apple juice brine so that is what we did.  Y'all stay warm.   Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience   

So good to be back home after traveling to visit our girls in Alabama.  Both my girls are amazing cooks and made us some great food but a few of the restaurants left some things to be desired.  After returning home we have fired up the grill and smoked some cheese, reverse seared steaks and put together an easy pork roast that is full of flavor.  Finally, I preached a sermon about the war in Israel and who are the heirs of Abraham today.  Follow the link to my Gospel Preaching With Chris Peltz YouTube channel.   Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience

  Krispy Kreme Donuts are popular for several reasons but when you through them on the grill, they are truly over the top GOOD.  You have to at least try them before you knock them.  Also, we grilled some Chuck Eye steaks with mixed results.  Chris loved the first bite, texture and flavor but there was way too much fat that did not render down.  However, for the price, it is worth trying again.  Finally Chris shares his thoughts on a new idea for stuffed apples to maximize the flavor and creamy goodness inside.  Stay tuned for further updates and email us to let us know if you try anything we talk about.     Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience   

We love desserts on the grill and confident you will as well.  Try your favorite apple pie, peach or blackberry cobbler, cakes or other baked goods on the grill.  We also love grilling fruits like pineapple, peaches, apples and bananas.  Don't knock it 'til you try it.  Finally there is the campfire classic S'more with a twist for the grill.  In the middle of all that we take a side trip on getting more smoke with pellets using the Grill Grate brand cooking grates.   Send questions and comments to info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience   

  You wanted to know if I still have an air fryer and what I might know about accessibility.  Well, yes, I still have an air fryer, the Cosori Dual Blaze, which has been working with my Amazon speaker and almost completely accessible.  However, I can't go all in with the air fryer for preparing complete meals.  It is my go to for reheating leftovers.  It is hard not to fire up the grill or use the sous vide instead of the air fryer.  Finally, the results of the World Championship Squirrel Cook-off are in and Nick got third place.  Congratulations and good luck next year.  It amazing me how creative you guys get with your cooks.  Thanks for sending in your recipes and I look forward to sharing them next week.

We answer a few questions from our listeners and talk about our Halibut cook before getting to the brisket.  Tips for the best brisket begins with purchasing a whole packer cryovac three weeks before you intend to smoke it.  Place it, unopened, in your refrigerator and leave it alone for three to four weeks.  Smoke it at 275 indirect for the first four hours and then wrap and place a probe in the flat.  Bring temperature of meat up to 205 and then test for probe tender.  Let it rest for an hour or two before slicing.  Do not worry about trimming.   Send questions and comments to blindgrilling@gmail.com or info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience

 We are talking all about Wagyu beef and I have a call to action.  Our friend, Walter from NYC lost everything to a fire and there is a GoFundMe link on our FaceBook page.  Blind Grilling has sent some replacement grilling and cooking accessories his way, but if you would like to help, please head over to our Facebook page and click the link.  What is Wagyu and why can we not know exactly what we are getting if beef is labeled Wagyu in the U.S. today?  The USDA has no grading system for American bred Wagyu beef and Japan has banned the export of more living Wagyu cattle for breeding.  While Wagyu is amazing and something you should try at least once, it is not worth the extra cost when it comes to American bred Wagyu.    Send questions and comments to blindgrilling@gmail.com or info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience   

  Chris breaks out the sous vide machine to try cooking shrimp using this method for the first time.  It is so easy and so great; we plan on doing it a lot.  He also shares a recipe for some cajun shrimp bread which you can find below: You can use French baguette or ciabatta bread sliced in half long ways. Preheat oven or grill to 400F  Sous Vide or cook half pound of shrimp with three cloves of minced garlic with salt and pepper to taste until firm and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes in the oven.  Let shrimp cool and then dice into small, bite sized pieces.  Combine cooked shrimp with the following: One teaspoon favorite Italian seasoning or rub  One third cup of mayo (We love Truff spicy mayo)  One quarter cup Mozzarella fresh graded cheese  Two tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese  One quarter cup sour cream    Top the bread with your shrimp mixture and season with more cajun seasoning like Slap Ya Mama  Bake in oven for six to ten minutes or until cheese is melted.

  Fish fry is at the heart of community, festivals and family reunions.  The ways of catching fish, preparing fish and the types of fish are diverse and all of them good.  Before you can fry them, you have to catch them.  This is an opportunity to teach kids about nature and our natural resources as well as respect for the things around us.    Send questions and comments to blindgrilling@gmail.com or info@blindgrilling.com Check out our website at blindgrilling.com  Subscribe to our You Tube channel at: youtube.com/blindgrilling Like us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/blindgrilling Visit our sponsors: https://lanesbbq.com/ https://kickashbasket.com/?ref=MgW7rNTx If you want to listen on the AINC Audio Information Network of Colorado by phone, you can call: 303-786-7777  Press 2, then 4 and then 28 for Blind Grilling Experience
